Information Items
VI.A.
Acceptance of Update on District Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, JCPS students have spent the first semester of this academic year learning remotely under Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI). District leadership has closely monitored data regarding COVID-19 in our community, and has relied upon evolving guidance from local, state, and national officials for an appropriate response for PreK-12 education. New information and guidance develops frequently, and the Superintendent must keep the Board, JCPS staff, families, and community informed regarding the planning and implementation of the District’s response.
This update will address areas where new developments have arisen, or are forthcoming. These broad topics are the same as in previous recent updates. As weeks pass, however, new information is received, and the context for District decision-making changes, making regular updates critically important.
Vaccines for JCPS Staff
- Information about plans, being developed by the District in collaboration with state and local public health officials, for the vaccination of JCPS employees and the return to school.
- Update regarding the number of employees indicating they wish to receive a vaccine.
Athletics

Recommendation for Approval of Agreements

Recommendation for Approval of the Memorandum of Agreement with Eastern Kentucky University for Dual Credit
Dual Credit personnel from Eastern Kentucky University have worked with the high school staff to identify teachers with the necessary credentials to offer dual credit for students scheduled in those courses. The agreement aligns with the Dual Credit Scholarship Program. These dual credit courses can be transferred to any regionally accredited college or university for credit. Eastern Kentucky University is a Partner Postsecondary Institution with KHEAA for that program.
Specifically:
- Scholarship funds may be used for dual credit unless the student has exceeded two courses or state funds are exhausted. In that case, the student/family is responsible for paying tuition.
- Tuition is set to 2/5 KCTCS tuition (as required by the PPI agreement with the KHEAA). Eastern Kentucky will not charge JCPS for reimbursement of unsuccessful student tuition.
Courses Included in this agreement are:
- AVN 170 - Introduction to Unmanned Aircraft
This work supports Vision 2020 strategies 1.1.3 - Provide equitable access, and 1.1.7 - Eliminate opportunity gaps.

Recommendation for Approval of Agreement with ValuMarket Pharmacy to Help Offer Vaccines to Jefferson County Public School Students and Staff
JCPS has over 19,000 children showing as non-compliant with state immunization requirements in 19-20. 92% of those children received free/reduced lunch and 64% were children of color. This data suggest disparities in access to health care among children in JCPS. As COVID-19 vaccines become available, structures to ensure access to immunizations is critical. A partnership with ValuMarket Pharmacy will help make vaccines more accessible to students, thus leading to improved school attendance and decreased chronic absenteeism. Increased access for staff will also help support health and safety for all employees.
Services from ValuMarket Pharmacy will allow for the implementation of immunization clinics throughout the district. These clinics will offer vaccines to students and staff. By offering immunization clinics in schools, there will be increased access to healthcare and reduced disparities for those that otherwise do not have access. The goal of this collaboration is to make vaccines accessible to all students and staff of Jefferson County Public Schools. The project directly supports strategy 2.1.3 (Improve Culture/Climate) in Vision 2020 which also aligns with the district pillar of Culture/Climate and racial equity. Transition readiness will also be improved by institution of structures to ensure students are ready to learn (System 5, Academic and Behavioral Support). This project aligns with JCPS partnership with Evolve 502 to support provision of wrap-around services.
The District is not providing matching funds for this project and there is no cost to JCPS.

Recommendation for Approval of Memorandum of Agreement for Mental Health Services
The rationale for community based counseling services to provide behavioral and mental health supports in school is for continuity of services between home and school. Community partners are able to provide the wrap-around support for our families and consult with school staff to solve student’s school related concerns. The following contractor is recommended for approval from the Board of Education:
The goal of these services is to help students develop critical thinking skills, self-regulation, and empathy. Services to be included are individual and group counseling.
Schools will be provided a list of providers that accept both Medicaid and private insurance that have obtained MOAs prior to the first day of school. The principal will determine which services to bring into their school based upon the needs of the students they serve.
The MOA process was developed to ensure community providers given access to students on school property had proper licensure, insurance and background checks as mandated by KRS 160.380 and that the community provider fills a need for schools.
No costs will be incurred by JCPS or JCPS student, parent or legal guardian for services rendered. The agency will only bill for the cost of services to the private or public health insurance company after parent or legal guardian gives written permission to do so.
The Memorandum of Agreements shall be effective beginning January 20, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2021.
This agreement supports Vision 2020 strategy 1.1.1.
Superintendent Martin Pollio recommends the Board of Education approve the attached Memorandum of Agreement and authorize the superintendent to sign same.

Adoption of Board Policy 05.511 Continuity of Operations Plan (Second Reading)
The proposed policy was received by the Board of Education for First Reading on December 1, 2020.
The District has a fully developed Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) in place to ensure that District operations are performed efficiently with minimal disruption during an emergency. The COOP provides guidance to ensure the District is capable of conducting its essential missions and functions under all threats and conditions, including, but not limited to acts of nature, accidents, technological emergencies, and military or terrorist attack-related incidents, with or without warning.
While the severity and consequences of any emergency cannot be predicted, effective contingency pre-planning based on a comprehensive risk assessment can minimize the impact on the District’s missions, personnel, and facilities.
This policy codifies in Board policy the requirement that the District shall have a Continuity of Operations Plan.
